"an inconvenient truth"

[Wayne Murray]

The future is humans living in urban centers, and in energy efficient,
environmentaly friendly sustainable high rises.  The only way that it is
going to happen is if developers are encouraged to move the US towards this
lifestyle.  It will not be easy and it may also take a generational
adjustment.  In a free country it is the developer and businessman who
brings about this change in the most cost effective using market analysis to
determine the desire and need.  NOT the government.

 

At a recent meeting it was suggested that governmental incentive money be
spent to bring in residential retail downtowm.  The government will
certainly get its money from the people who make profit.  Why not leave the
developer free to keep his profits and build the high-rises and fill
downtown with people who "live" not visit for a game or ASU.

 

If there are govenmnetal incentives to build businesses, the kinds of
businesses requiring people to make them successful will not be there,
Remember the Mercado?

 

If left to the market the large number of people living downtown will be the
"incentive" for business (the good kind) to open their doors and better yet
to stay in business..hey and it didn't cost the government anything but the
"do gooder politicians" who would have set up the incentive zones.

I can honestly say-that in my own life-I have never been so altered, so
overwrought-so permanently transitioned-and now, so inspired to change the
way I live,, as I am after seeing this movie-An Inconvenient Truth.  

 

Its a life changing experience, one that you can't recover from, --at all
costs--.

 

It has created a new degree of intensity in my plight for urban living,
building responsibly, buying local, riding bikes, just being home.....

 

Please PLEASE go see this movie.
